Steve is right. I forget what how the command is done with the RCX
software the comes with the RIS but in NQC one can use the
SetSleepTime() function. Quoting from the help file:
SetSleepTime(minutes)
Set the sleep timeout the requested number of minutes (which must be a
constant). Specifying 0 minutes disables the sleep feature.
SetSleepTime(5); // sleep after 5 minutes
SetSleepTime(0) ; // disable sleep time
SleepNow()
Force the device to go to sleep. Only works if the sleep time is non-zero.
SleepNow(); // go to sleep
I have used this in my ball contraptions to keep them running hours on
end. My wife hates the fact that I can disable its autoshutdown!
